This is a list of 1951 ABC shows that exist at the UCLA Film and Television Archive. As mentioned in previous postings, my methods of searching are lazy, so this list is likely incomplete. Also, there may be more surviving 1951 ABC shows at other archives. Quite likely, in fact.
The Bill Gwinn show (1951-06-24) (Also listed as "It Could be You")
Billy Rose’s Playbill (1951-03-27, 1951-03-06, 1951-02-06, 1951-02-27, 1951-02-13, 1951-03-13) (anthology drama sponsored by Hudson cars)
Chance of a Lifetime (1951-09-05, 1951-11-28) (game show which later changed format)
College Bowl (1951-03-26) (starring Chico Marx) (do not confuse with the game show of the same name. )
Don Ameche’s Musical Playhouse (1951-08-02, plus another episode from an unknown date)
Don McNeill’s T.V. Club (1951-01-24) (variety series. A 1948 telecast of the radio version can be viewed on this site)

Hollywood Theatre Time (1951-01-17, 1951-01-31, plus two more epsodes from unknown dates)
Kreisler Bandstand (1951-03-21, 1951-04-04, 1951-04-18, 1951-05-02) (music series with guests like Benny Goodman, Peggy Lee, Mel Torme, Thelma Carpenter and Duke Ellington. Sounds like fun!)
Old Fashioned Meeting (1951-01-02, 1951-01-09, 1951-01-16, 1951-01-23, 1951-01-30, 1951-02-06, 1951-02-13, 1951-02-20, 1951-02-27, 1951-03-06, 1951-03-13, 1951-09-27) (religious series)

Studs’ Place (1951-02-23, 1951-10-11) (drama set at a restaurant)
It Could Be You (1951-01-27)
You Asked for It (1951-12-24)
Your Pet Parade (unidentified issue) (childrens series in which kids pets compete for prizes)
Some of these series sound very interesting. Though quite frankly, I can probably live the rest of my life (and my eternal afterlife) without seeing more than a couple sample episodes of "Old Fashioned Meeting", "Faith for Today" and "Space Patrol".
